Lighthouse Exteriors Adds Insurance Claims Division to Aid Homeowners

    Lighthouse Exteriors, a family owned home improvement company based in Madison Heights, recently added an insurance claims division and new office in Macomb County.

    The new division will be an extension of Lighthouse Exteriors, which specializes in roofing, concrete and siding, employing a team of seasoned insurance professionals experienced in insurance claim requirements and policies.

    Lighthouse Exteriors made the decision to include the new service offering in response to the volume of residential storm damage insurance claims the company services which sometimes delayed homeowners’ ability to contract repairs. The insurance agents will advocate on behalf of the policy holder and work with their insurance companies.

    According to the Insurance Information Institute annual study into the causes of home insurance losses, almost 98% of home insurance claims are for property damage. In fact, the study cites about one in 35 insured homes has a property damage claim related to wind or hail which comprises over 40% of overall storm related claims.

    “We saw a gap in the home improvement industry where customers were challenged and frustrated navigating their insurance claims while trying to contract immediate repairs at the same time and saw a solution to help streamline that process for them,” said Martino Montalto, owner, Lighthouse Exteriors. “Our insurance professionals are well-versed in expediting claims, helping to maximize the claim for homeowners, and act as a trusted liaison between our customers and their insurance companies.”

    To accommodate the new insurance division, Lighthouse Exteriors recently opened a second location at 54999 Shelby Rd. in Shelby Twp. For more info visit www.lighthouseexteriors.com.
